Learn to create a connection to Oracle Autonomous JSON Database to use as a target for OCI GoldenGate.

Before you create the connection, ensure that you review how OCI GoldenGate connects to your source and targets.

Learn to create a connection to an Oracle Autonomous JSON Database to use as a target in a replication process.

1. From the OCI GoldenGate Overview page, click Connections.
   You can also click Create Connection under the Get started section and skip to step 3.
2. On the Connections page, click Create Connection.
3. On the Create Connection page, complete the fields as follows:
   1. For Name, enter a name for the connection.
   2. (Optional) For Description, enter a description that helps you distinguish this connection from others.
   3. For Compartment, select the compartment in which to create the connection.
   4. For Type, select Oracle Autonomous JSON Database.
   5. In the Database details section, choose:
      • Select database to select from a list of existing Autonomous JSON Databases in the compartment. Click Change Compartment to select a database in a different compartment.
      • Enter database information and then manually enter the Connection String.

        Note:

        If a private IP is entered, then OCI GoldenGate rewrites the private IP in the format, ip-10-0-0-0.ociggsvc.oracle.vcn.com.
   6. For Username, enter the Oracle Autonomous JSON Database database username.
   7. For Password, enter the Oracle Autonomous JSON Database password.

      Note:

      To use password secrets, ensure that you select Use secrets in vault in the Settings tab under Advanced Options, located at the bottom of this form.
   8. For Security protocol, select from the following options:

      • MTLS, and then select the SSL mode
   9. For Network connectivity, select a Traffic routing method:
      • Shared endpoint, to share an endpoint with the assigned deployment. You must allow connectivity from the deployment's ingress IP.
      • Dedicated endpoint, for network traffic through a dedicated endpoint in the assigned subnet in your VCN. You must allow connectivity from this connection's ingress IPs.

        Note:

        • If a dedicated connection remains unassigned for seven days, then the service converts it to a shared connection.
